It’s been awhile and I definitely owe you a health update. I won’t bore you with the details but overall I seem to be doing well-ish. I have scans every three months and MRIs (brain) every 4 months and since the return of esophageal cancer and subsequent radiation last November everything has come back clear, including last week’s scan. MRI not due till September. But things currently good enough that my oncologist has even given the green light to taking a bit of a break (4-6 weeks) from the infusions, That will be quite wonderful as they make me feel crappy for a week at So once again, a heartfelt thank you to everyone for your powerful prayers, intercessions and hopes on my which time it’s nearly time for another another. I think August will be a fine month to be infusion free.
I will always have significant balance issues as well as a raft of other not-so-life changing maladies but like many others here, I wake every day grateful to still be on this remarkable planet despite our bodily infirmities.
What currently plagues me is “cancer related fatigue,” a diagnosis you get when doctors cannot explain the symptoms any other way. What I can tell you is that it is quite debilitating. I am making small, incremental progress which gives me great hope. So once again, I would like to thank all of you who have offered powerful prayers, intercessions, hopes and good wishes on my behalf.
So as summer marches unrelenting on it’s time to get out there and make hay while the sun shines!
These balmy temperatures won’t last forever.
Since I finally have the strength to putter around the kitchen again when the heat wave wanes a bit perhaps I’ll feel like baking something - perhaps a peach pie to mark the season.
Note: it’s perfectly fine to use Pillsbury pie crusts. Especially in the summer.
So I hope we all enjoy what’s left of these dog days of summer by living our best life possible.
So hang in there! Trump’s got this.
